Vulcan Materials Company has confirmed it will focus on new markets in Colorado and expand its presence in Dallas-Fort Worth after exiting the California concrete market.
The company confirmed it has acquired Brannan Sand & Gravel’s assets in Southern Colorado and Dallas-Fort Worth, including a rail-connected aggregate quarry with long-term reserves and a new distribution yard, respectively.
“These portfolio actions align with our aggregates-led growth strategy by expanding our reach into southern Colorado and strengthening our distribution network in Dallas-Fort Worth to meet growing customer demand with high-quality aggregates,” Vulcan Materials chief executive officer Ronnie Pruitt said.
The company also confirmed it had divested its ready-mixed concrete operations in California, with CalPortland announcing it acquired Vulcan’s ready-mix concrete assets in the San Diego and San Francisco Bay areas.
“The Vulcan Materials’ ready mix acquisition reflects a strategy positioning us for the long-term success of our company,” CalPortland chief executive officer Allen Hamblen said.
“This strategic investment enhances our core capabilities, expands our reach, and reinforces our ability to deliver consistent performance and quality products in an evolving market.”
CalPortland’s acquisition will give it a presence in Northern California, which it previously lacked, while strengthening its existing presence in Southern California. Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, of which CalPortland is a consolidated subsidiary, confirmed to investors that the acquisition had been completed, following its initial announcement in late 2025.
“This acquisition enables [CalPortland Cement Company] to enter the San Francisco Bay area in Northern California, a new region previously not accessed by [its] ready-mix business, while also strengthening its business foundation in existing operating areas in Southern California, such as the San Diego area,” the company wrote in its market release.
“CPC also expects to realise synergies through increased sales volumes by securing stable demands for cement produced at CPC plants, imported cement supplied by group companies and supplementary cementitious materials sourced from business partners.”
